We have planned to extend our hours of operation for teens are Monday
through Friday 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm and 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on Saturdays.
We are currently in the planning stages of providing transportation to and
from the club for the teens that currently attend the Teen Center and for the
youth of the Lodi community. Currently Lodi Unified School District
provides after school transportation to the Lodi Boys & Girls Club for all
elementary schools but once they reach Junior High they're on their own.
With this plan for transportation we can provide services to all youth in the
Lodi and Woodbridge community, with hopes of serving 200 youth in the
first year.
If I can be of further service please contact me at 209-334-2697.
